CV : PES Activists Portugal is supported by the Portuguese Socialist Party (PS) - Portuguese PES member party - and its militants, who wish to broaden their knowledge about Europe and PES and politically be more active in European affairs. Our goal is the understanding, discussion and dissemination of information about Europe, and specifically PES view of European affairs, in the PS, with a strong emphasis in promoting events for informing the militants less connected with the party elite.

Signature of the “European Union Reform Treaty” - By Marco Lacomblez Leitão - 20-10-2007 13:25:39 - Only logged activists can post a comment, please sign in or register here
Dear Friends
Effectively, I’m proud of the work developed by the Portuguese Presidency, and by the cooperation of European Union Member States, in the Signature of the “European Union Reform Treaty”.
Undoubtedly, we are in the right way.
In fact, as you now, only with a Strong and United Europe we will be able to overcome the current difficulties.
On the other hand, it is clear that all Member States will benefit with the new decision mechanisms introduced by this New Treaty.
The World needs an effective Europe, able to intervene in the preponderant matters.
Finally, I believe that a new way for the European Union and the World has begun.
Let’s go to work!!

Cher Amis
Je suis fier du travaille réalisé par la Présidence Portugaise, et par les autres États Membres de l’Union Européenne, concernant la signature du « Traité Réformateur de l’Union Européenne».
Il est incontestable qu’on est sur le bon chemin.
Effectivement, comme vous le savez, seulement avec une Europe Forte et Unie nous pourrons vaincre les difficultés qui se présentent, actuellement.
D’ autre part, il est indéniable que tout les Etats Membres bénéficierons avec les nouvelles règles de décision adoptée par ce nouveau Traité.
Le Monde a besoin d’une Europe capable de répondre aux grands défis actuels de la vie internationale.
Enfin, je suis convaincu que commence une nouvelle phase pour l’Union Européenne et le Monde.
Au travaille !!

European Union Presidency, July 1st 2007 - By Marco Lacomblez Leitão - 08-06-2007 11:58:38 - Only logged activists can post a comment, please sign in or register here
Dear Friends,
As you know, a crucial moment for Europe is approaching. The European Union needs urgent Institutional Politic reforms, in order to make agile its working conditions – which are now hardly governable with the last adhesions (obviously welcome).
The Treaty to be discussed has in view fundamentally the reformulation of the organization and work of the European Union Institutions. Consequently, is urgent to approve it, for the purpose of advancing with the construction of a more just, liable and economically stronger Europe.
Portugal can and must have a preponderant role in this question, because, as you well know, is going to assume the Presidency of the European Union on July 1st 2007.
One of the greatest qualities, internationally recognized, of Portuguese people is its capacity to generate consensus. In fact, this is exactly what we need at the moment.
I sincerely believe we are going to win this great challenge.
Marco Lacomblez Leitão

Chers(Chères) Amis(es)
Un moment crucial pour l'Europe approche : comme on le sait, l'Union Européenne a un besoin urgent de réformes politico-institutionnelles qui lui donnent plus d’agilité dans ce fonctionnement devenu extrêmement complexe avec les dernières adhésions (même si elles ont été bienvenues).
Comme vous le savez, le Traité vise, fondamentalement, à reformuler l'organisation des Institutions de l'Union Européenne. Il est donc urgent de l’approuver afin de renforcer les possibilités de la construction d'une Europe plus Juste, plus Solidaire et Économiquement plus forte.
Le Portugal peut avoir un rôle décisif dans le champ couvert par cette question, car, comme vous le savez, il assumera la Présidence de l'Union, à partir du 1er Juillet 2007.
Le peuple portugais est connu, et reconnu, pour sa capacité à gérer les consensus ; or, c'est précisément de cela dont tous les européens ont besoin en ce moment.
Je suis donc convaincu que nous contribuerons à vaincre ce défi.

PES Activists Portugal Presentation - By José Reis Santos - 22-05-2007 08:58:23 - Only logged activists can post a comment, please sign in or register here
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Dear Friends,
It’s been a week since we’re commemorating 50 years from the signature of treaty of Rome. A week ago we celebrate the way that we took and we look to the future, seeking new goals. 50 Years ago, we still remember, Europe was recovering from profound wounds made by a fratricide war.
50 years ago, a group of diplomats were congregated in Rome trying to build an European peace that last at least a generation.
50 years ago, they said that Europe could exist, at least, as a supra national entity of economical relief, peace keeper and maybe something more.
Today, after not one but two generations, we overcome those initial goals. Europe, today, is more than an economical organization. Europe, today, is more than a peace keeper. Europe, today, it’s not an idea. It’s here. It’s real.
The Partido Socialista has been always in tune with this construction. As a result of one man decisive vision – Mário Soares – in those days of ASP (Acção Socialista Portuguesa) as observers of IS, we had chosen Social Democracy as ideology.
After our Revolution, at April’s 25, 1974, and as recently formed Partido Socialista, we run at the first free general election in 1976, with the slogan “A Europa Connosco – Europe with us”. As a result of our victory in that election, PS delivers the formal order to join EEC. In 1985, and with Mário Soares still in leadership, it’s Partido Socialista who signs the union treaty. And when Portugal joins Euro, it’s also under Socialist leadership – António Guterres.
Today, as we start PES Activists Portugal, we seek to continue this way, with full respect of our background. It’s in this proudly history that we seek peace and prosperity, but also an European Identity, based in a political project of social cohesion, build for the people and by the people.
PES Activists are born in the globalization days. These days have a tremendous influence in politics. If in every UE country there are levels of political organization (local, regional and nacional) being a PES Activists it’s to join to a fourth level of organization: The European level.
We embrace new technologies because they make eliminate distances, they give voice the voiceless, they create new proximities. We are, already, so many European citizens changing ideas, having debates at PES website, or blogging thru the Internet. Today, the political discussion about the future of Europe, our future, it’s a multi channel debate.
That doesn’t mean that we give up the traditional debates. It means we enforce them. We promote them even harder. That’s why we invite you to be here with us, debating with us. We still believe in political made for the people and by the people.
The PES Activists initiative it’s a way, among others, that PES find to motivate the debate about European politics between over 2 million socialist members thru all Europe.
At Portugal, we want to be part of this decisive generational challenge. OUR generational challenge.
Our goal is to complement traditional party structures, bringing more information, more debate and more working areas. We want to be not only the messengers but also the creators of new ideas, new debates, new politics. We believe that our relationship with Europe it’s a two way street, working in an articulated manner ad noise free between the leaders and they countrymen.
We want to belong to the base of these relationship, connecting ourselves with the European network of activists, giving PES and PS the strength to make new ways of development in European matters, bringing them to the day to day discussions, and bringing at the same time local politics an European visibility, giving them the right context.
We believe that nowadays being a socialist it’s to be pro-active, it’s to feel the need to make history, like 50 years ago. It’s to have the strength and the will to build a socially fair Europe, a political advance Europe, it’s to make a decisive contribution to the next 50 years.
Today, trying to embrace members and friends of PS in a open mind political work, we start this adventure – PES Activists Portugal
.
Because, like 20 years ago, we belong to this project.
Because, like 20 years ago, we are European.
50 years ago, our founding fathers ask us a generation of peace.
We give them that and we giving them also an economical growth and development. Let the third generation, our generation, build a new Social Europe by integrating diversity and promoting equality.
That’s why we step forward
Thank you

Thank You Irish Labour Party - By Rui Pedro Nascimento - 21-05-2007 13:19:00 - Only logged activists can post a comment, please sign in or register here
I’d like to take this opportunity to thanks everyone of the Irish Labour Party for the fantastic experience that they allow us to have in the pasts weeks. Because it would be to hard to name everyone, and also because I don’t want to take the risk of missing someone, I prefer to thanks to everyone naming only two: Aidan O’Sullivan for the organization of the event, and Victoria Somers, for receiving me in her home and for the hospitality. In these two persons I thank you all for this experience.
Thank you and good luck for next Thursday!
Rui Pedro Nascimento
